HOOK-AND-EYE ATTACHMENT.

Application filed November 26, 1923. Serial No. 676,896.

To all whom z't may concern:

Be it known that I, W LLIAM H. HART, Jr., deceased, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Hook-and-Eye Attachment, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a hook and eye provided with means for attachment to a band of a necktie or other article obviating stitching or sewing, or the employment of other fastenings, while also adapting the band to be conveniently adjusted in length.

The invention is satisfactorily illustrated in the accompanying drawing, but the important instrumentalities thereof may be varied, and so it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific details shown and described, as long as they are within the spirit or scope of the claim.

Figures 1 and 2 represent perspective views of a hook and an eye having an attachment embodying the invention.

Figure 3 represents a side elevation there 5 of including portions of the band.

Figure & represents a longitudinal section thereof on line 44 Figure 3.

Figures 5 and 8 represent perspective views of other embodiments of the invention.

Figure 6 represents a side elevation of the embodiment shown in Figure 5, and portions of the attached band.

Figure 7 represents a longitudinal section on line 77 Figure 6.

Figure 9 represents a side elevation of the embodiment shown in Figure 8, and portions of an attached band.

Figure 10 represents a longitudinal section on line 10-10 Figure ,9.

Figure 11 represents a perspective view of another embodimentof the invention.

Figure 12 represents a side elevation of the embodiment shown in Figure 11, including a portion of an attached band.

Figure 13 represents a longitudinal section on line 1313 Figure 12.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures. Referring to the drawings,

1 designates a hook and 2 designates an eye which are formed of wire or other material and engageable as usual in articles of the kind.

On one of the end cross members 3 of the 55 hook 1; and continuous thereof is the prong or pin like member 4 which extends longitudinally therefrom.

On one of the end cross members 5 of the eye 2 and continuous thereof is the prong or pin like member 6 which extends longitudinally therefrom.

7 designates a band to whose end portions the hook and eye are attached respectively, whereby said hook and eye may be engaged as in Figures 3 and 4. j

A length 8 of the end portion of the band is inserted in the hook l and bent of itself over the end cross member 3 thereof and placed upon the adjacent length 9 of the band. Then the prong 4 is struck into said length 8 or into both lengths 8 and 9 if desired, and thus the length 8 is prevented from unfolding and displacement from the cross member 3 of the hook, hence the hook is attached to the band and vice versa by said prong without sewing, stitches, clasps, clips or the like.

The length 10 of the opposite end portion of the band is inserted in the hook and bent of itself over the end cross member 5 of the eye 2 and placed upon the adjacent length 11 I cross member 5 of the eye, hence the eye is attached to the hand without sewing, stitches, clasps, clips or the like. j

It is evident that the lengths 8 and 9 of the band may be primarily adjusted on the lengths 10 and 11 thereof so as to adjust the length of the band. It is also evident that when desired the prongs may be disconnected from the respective lengths of the band when the hook and eye may be removed from the band and vice versa.

In Figures 5, 6 and 7, a wall of the end member 3 of the hook has extended therefrom the shank 12. Continuous thereof is the clasp 13 which is adapted to embrace the two lengths of the band to hold them together, and continuous of said clasp is the prong 14 which is adapted to operate similarly to the prongs of the previous figures and with the same results, it being evident that the eye may be similarly provided with such shank 12, clasp 13 and prong 14.

In Figures 8, 9 and 10, a wall of the end member 3 has extended therefrom the shank 15 continuous thereof is the clasp 16 which is adapted to embrace the two lengths of the hand to hold them together. Continuous oi the other Wall of said member 3 is the prong l 7 Which projects towards the hill of the hook and is adapted to pierce the bend 18 of the lengths 8 and 9 and operate similarly to the prongs or" the previous figures and with the same results, it being evident that the eye may he similarly provided With such shank l5, clasp l6, and prong 17. In Figures 11, 12, and 13 a body is serpentine to be reeved on the hand 7, 8, and has on one end the prong 4 to he stuck into said hand, and on the other end the hook I for engagement with the eye 2.

Having thus described the invention at -WiLIJAM H. HART, J12, deceased, What is claimed as new and desired to secure by Letters Patent, is

As a new article of manufacture, a bandnecktie one end of Which is provided With a hook and the opposite end of Which is provided with an eye of which. the hook is shaped by bending a Wire to form a comhined hool; and loop which latter terminates in a single, central pin, a necktie end being passed entirely through said loop and folded over upon itself, and through which folded over part said pin is inserted to hold said folded tie parts together, and of which the eye is shaped by bending a Wire loop-fashion which loop terminates in a single, central pin, the opposite end of said necktie being passed entirely through the said eye-loop and folded orer upon itselt and through Which foldedover part said last mentioned pin is inserted to hold said last mentioned folded tie parts together.
